Resident physician for an unclassified position, Psychiatry West

Are you already passionate about psychiatry, or would you like to learn more about the specialty? Then come to Psychiatry West and become part of a community where high (interdisciplinary) professionalism, sparring, education and collegiality come first.

We are seeking more resident doctors for 1-year unclassified positions with appointment on January 1, 2027 or as agreed.

With us you will have the opportunity to gain a broad insight into psychiatry across acute, outpatient and early intervention services. The appointment can be in the Psychiatric Emergency Department (PAM), in inpatient wards or in outpatient units in District Psychiatry in Holbæk, Slagelse or OPUS, which provides good opportunities to become familiar with several parts of the specialty.

To make commuting easier, we offer daily transport by staff bus between DGI Byen, Valby and Slagelse. Working time is counted during the transport.

You will receive a thorough introduction to working in Psychiatry West, so you get off to a good start. In addition, weekly theoretical teaching and clinics are included as a natural part of everyday life and support your professional development.

Clinical work is tailored to the unit you are employed in. On the inpatient wards, work primarily consists of rounds and on-call duties under supervision. In the outpatient units you participate in managing patient pathways under supervision of the senior physician and as part of a multidisciplinary team. There is a presence shift attached to the position. The shifts are two-shifted, and there are always at least two doctors on duty around the clock.

The Psychiatric Hospital in Slagelse houses the Psychiatric Emergency Department with 18 beds, of which 8 are highly secure, several integrated ward beds with 14-17 beds, of which two are secured, as well as an geriatric psychiatric ward. For adult psychiatry, there are also six district psychiatric centers connected, several outpatient specialized functions and OPUS. Together this provides a varied education and working environment with the opportunity to experience many different facets of psychiatry.

The psychiatric hospital is closely linked to the somatic hospital, with whom we collaborate both clinically and in research and education.

Interviews are held on an ongoing basis.

If you would like further information about the position, please contact the education lead, Chief Physician Taus Biba.
